Vitkin is a family run and owned winery, the pioneer of Mediterranean-style winemaking in Israel. Vitkin is considered as one of the most exciting and innovative wineries in Israel. Founded on 2001, by two brothers-in-law: Doron Belogolovsky and Assaf Paz. Doron – Kfar Vitkin founder’s grandson, wine lover and talented handy man; Assaf – Israel’s first graduate of the Bordeaux winemaking school in Bordeaux. In 2003, Sharona Paz-Belogolovsky, Doron’s wife and Assaf’s sister, joined the team. Together the three of them created a winery that enjoys a unique status among wine lovers and connoisseurs in Israel. Since 2002, the winery produces wines made from Carignan, Colombard, Petite Sirah and more varieties that were all but forgotten for making varietal wines. Assaf and Doron were determined to revive and nurture these varieties, and produce fine wines from them. Thus, began the Mediterranean wine revolution in Israel.
